Oh dear! Kate Ferndinand was left panicking during a live work out with husband Rio on Wednesday when he faked an injury

‘I’m not – I’m serious!’ he insisted as Kate, 28, tried to laugh it off.
After several further attempts to insist he was kidding, Kate finally asked him whether they should carry on, asking him, ‘what do you want me to do?’
He finally admitted the whole thing was an April Fool’s gag.
Kate posted the moment to Instagram afterwards, captioning it: ‘Seriously guys – who tries to April fools someone on a LIVE?
